IRS Workshops for 501(c)(3) Organizations

The IRS is hosting one-day workshops for small and mid-sized 501(c)(3) organizations.

This introductory workshop is designed for administrators or volunteers who are responsible for the organization's tax compliance.

Workshops are limited to 150 participants each day and will be filled first-come first served. Preregistration is required. Workshops will be held in several different locations across the United States.
